Sarah Palin The Giant Slayer

Lipstick, a pretty smile, and the approval of a nation.

Last night Sarah Palin took on Joe Biden in a VP debate that had better ratings than any political debate since 1992(Clinton, Bush, and that other guy with the big ears--Perot). I watched the debates and I have read through 15 blogs this morning. The overall consensus is that Sarah Palin not only won, but she is ONE of US.

Every blog out there has the chatter of approval for Sarah Palin. I wouldn't be suprised if teenie-boppers suddenly started to wear the same brand of lipstick, that is how popular she is becoming.

This just goes to show that anyone can be turned into a superstar(wink at Obama) if the press likes them enough, or if they dislike them enough.

But the facts are these:
  • Sarah's Smart
  • Sarah's Funny
  • Sarah governed a state(biggest one we got)
  • Sarah connects with people

I would also like to note that the few liberals/Dem's/Pillow Huggers etc,.. who did post on these blogs I read seemed to have nothing constructive to say, in fact one guy talked so much about how everyone hates everyone else that noone on the blog wanted him around.

It seems that the Democrats are scared, and they are desperate to tell anyone how wrong they are! Nothing New There

Politics and Free Market Economics Should Not Mix!

History has shown that whenever the Government tries to get involved with the Free Market problems will inevitably occur.

Fannie Mae was federally chartered in 1938 and Freddie Mac in 1970, these two mortgage lending institutions are at the center of this financial crisis. They would not be in this situation if it weren’t for disturbing federal policies. There was an implicit understanding that the government would make good on debts incurred causing them to take on excessive risk.

Starting in the 1970’s Congress pushed Fannie and Freddie to expand subprime lending, the result has been thousands of people given mortgages who under “Freemarket Standards” would never have been given a loan that they can’t afford. Mortgage fraud soared, A.R.M’s adjusted and bankruptcies and foreclosures skyrocketed.

All of this illustrates just how poorly the government action in regards to our economy helps(HURTS). The answer to this current situation is not a bailout,… it’s a bankruptcy.

When a large institution gets in trouble two things happen
Other large companies start to make offers for less than what they are worth.
Creditors prepare for an impending bankruptcy to gain what they can.

Neither one of these is a bad thing, If a large company goes under it promotes growth in the rest of the economy, but the more the government steps in, the longer the recovery process will take.

So how does all of this relate to politics? Well boiled down
Democrats Spend
Republicans Save

The only thing that changes all of this is WAR, which brings us to a topic for another time. – Why Are We The World Police? –

So what is the solution?
Strong National Defense
Free Market Economy
Local Manufacturing
National Pride
Made in America
= The Republic for Which We Stand!!
